Actually, this is quite hard in 10M Raid.

My raid is managed to kill Lich King on normal 10M. We have a melee-stacking group with only one shadow-priest as ranged DPS. He managed to kill 2 Vile Spirits before they start to chase players and explode.

You have to kill all Vile Spirits, which spawn in a pack of 10, with RANGED dps only. A recent hotfix modified the height of the Vile Spirits, which made even DK's pestilence cannot infect all spirits.

I don't know if a mage with imp. blizzard and frostbite will work like a charm for this achievement.

If you wonder, Vile Spirit explodes for about 10k shadow damage(can be partly resisted). We just spread out when they start to hit us, then heal through the damage. Also, with movement speed increasment talent like Rogue's fleet footed, you could take no damage from the explode by keep running(the explode range is pretty small).

I don't know if despawning counts as exploding for the purposes of the achievement, but I can confirm that when the spirits die during the finale event, they don't count and the achievement is still valid.

As for getting it done, consider 2-healing the fight to pick up a ranged DPS from your healers. You'll want 4 ranged, but you can get away with 3 if you're careful with kiting the ones that fall and maybe even two if you have moonkin / fire magi available. (This is with the 5% zone buff in mind.)

Quite difficult achievement.

Only 3 classes that can effectively AoE Vile Spirits, while shamans and hunters have chain lightning/multi-shot.

I don't know if we made a mistake but we tried it the other night and killed every vile spirit before they could explode but we didn't get the achievement. After checking the logs, we saw we killed them all, took no damage from any explosion and the spirits never gained a buff as they usually do (in WoL : Vile Spirit gains Spirit Burst from Vile Spirit).Tried to contact a GM but we got the standard answer "we are reporting it to the devs but can't do anything".

So there might be something we don't know at the moment (and I would love to get some feedback from someone who already did it) or we were just really unlucky.

Strangely, a group on Khadgar US just got the glory 10 man without doing this - the meta granted them credit anyway, right down to the frostwyrm in the mail.

Stealth removal from the meta?

Not so hard in good comp. First of all take 4 range dps (prefer AOE classes ofc) to minimize chances to fail . Even if one of the ranges will be caught in Frostmourne, other 3 should easily kill/ kite all of these spirits. We had shadow priest, affly warlock, FFB mage and elem shammy. Also we took only 2 healers (pally+disc) to quicken the fight. Got achievement with 2nd pull.Good luck for everyone!

We accidentally got this achievement last night so I thought I'd share the tactic we used in case it helps others:

Get a group with lots of range

Push Boss to P2 as normal

The damage from Remorseless Winter is so low at level 85 you can easily push the boss down to 10% in phase 2 using your range.

No Vile Spirits will spawn, and you will get the achievement when the boss goes down.

Easy to solo now, nuke the Lich King and he will be dead before any spirits spawn, you do not actually have to kill any spirits, you will get credit for finishing the encounter without taking any damage from the spirits!
